<strong>About the couple</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Bride:</strong> Ashley Balfour <br />
<br />
<strong>Groom:</strong> Tyler Willan<br />
<br />
<strong>How they met:</strong> "We met when we both worked at the same golf course in the summer," explains Ashley. "He would always approach me and flirt with me at work. Finally, he asked me to go golfing with him after work one day. We had a blast and went for dinner and drinks after and totally hit it off."<br />
<br />
<strong>Engagement story:</strong> “We went to Ontario (where Tyler and his family are from) for a week to surprise his dad for his 50th birthday," Ashley recalls. "Tyler really wanted to take me to this provincial park and go for walk, even though it was miserable outside. About ten minutes into our walk, I called it quits because it was too cold and windy, but Tyler sprung into action! He got down on one knee and totally shocked me with a gorgeous ring! Suddenly I wasn’t cold anymore… I was the happiest girl in the world."<br />
